James Jebusa Shannon was born in Ireland to Irish parents. When he was eight years old, his family moved to St. Catherines, Ontario, Canada. James' parents recognized his creative talent at an early age, and he began taking private painting and sketching lessons with a local painter, E. William Wright, who encouraged him to continue his studies in London. At the age of 16, he moved to England to study at the South Kensington School of Art (now the Royal College of Art) 1 in South Kensington, London, under the direction of Sir Edward Poynter. Shannon quickly established himself as Sir Poynter's best student. After three years of training, he was awarded the gold medal for portraiture in an annual competition in which all English art schools participated.
The Queen then commissioned him to paint portraits of Horatio Stopford and Mrs. Henry Bourke. His painting of Horatio Stopford, one of the Queen's bridesmaids, attracted the attention of the Royal Academy in 1881, and his portrait of Henry Vigne in hunting clothes was a great success at the exhibition he attended in 1887. For this painting he received awards in Paris, Berlin and Vienna. Because of his success in Europe, he kept postponing his trip to Canada. Together with his American colleague John Singer Sargent, he quickly established himself as one of London's most renowned portrait painters. In 1892 he set up a factory on Holland Park Road in London.In 1886 he married Lady Florence Mary Cartwright in London; a year later their daughter Kitty was born, followed by their second daughter Marjorie in 1890. From then on they appeared frequently in his works. In 1904-1907 he visited New York with his family and exhibited his art at the Knoedler Gallery.
He was a founding member of the New English Art Club, the Royal Society of Portrait Painters, and was admitted as an associate member of the Royal Academy in 1897. In 1901, the National Gallery in London acquired his work "The Flower Girl." Some of his most famous works were Portrait of Violet, Duchess of Rutland, Knitting, The Sèvres Vase, and White Lilies. He died in 1923 at the age of 61 for reasons unknown to us today.
